sleep peaceful sleep
come steal over me now
numb not just my limbs
but mind and heart sublime
...

My darling.. my one and only true love..
even today, my heart sings..
my lips smile,
my eyes shine
...

the world sparkles, sings and shines
as sunrays splinter thick white clouds
heralding the break of a brand new day
...

Thank you dear Father for all the wonders and gifts you'v bestowed
from the fullness of your bounty, enriching my heart and soul
brilliant yellow blossoms hanging heavily and bending every bough
like your arms reaching down to me from heaven above
...

Each mountain is worthy of its climb
Every valley beautiful
No pain.. just the beautiful joy that pure friendship brings
...

This poem is dedicated to someone whom I value, trust and respect immensely..

a soft voice
thats what you are
...

Waat pahate tujhich mi

swapanat kadhi yeshil tu
...

i dont have you physically.. but
you are with me breath in and breath out..
with every blink of my eyelash..
every beat of my heart..
...

To be in love is at times a miserable condition
It has robbed me of my sleep my peace
I have no control over my thoughts
I have no control over my heart
...

Happy is the one,
and happy is he alone
who can truly call
today his very own
...

...

how cruel is our fate
how heartless is our destiny
one soul torn asunder
existing in two heaps of dust
...

Why do you have to stumble
before you learn to walk
why does a heart have to break
thousands of times
...

footprints..

on the dry hot burning sands of time
one before the other
...

always have i admired
brilliant red n orange blooms
of the stately gulmohur
out in their ostentatious display
...

Why is it that I never find fulfillment in love?
Am I afraid of commitment?
Afraid to love the 'right' kind of person?
Why do i knowingly cause myself so much pain?
...

from centuries and ages
and past lifetimes..
I'v drowned deep in your eyes.
you'v bewitched me
...

Why do we need someone
To love, to care to be there?
When each one is born alone
And has to die alone…..
...

(Am working on the English translation for this hindi poem)

Kabu nahin hai dil pe mere
Hardum saath tumhara chahe
...

We never knew of each others existence
You were you.. living your life
I was me …. dying my death
Until the vast switchboard up in the universe
...
